Cheers, Julie Running Car,

Sometimes just getting to the ferry is half the battle. In the summertime it's really busy with all the tourists. We usually take the 8:30 a.m. ferry on Saturday morning - there is nothing worse than arriving at the cabin in the pitch dark with no water and a ton of stuff to unload. My husband loves to have a big greasy breakfast and read the paper en-route to the cabin - you definitely can't do this on the 400. We do have two brand new ferries this year, so I'm hoping we will get to try them out on the long weekend. I must admit, seeing Killer Whales is a rare but wonderful experience.

I think one of the first things on our list will be to take down the darned christmas tree. It's going to take about 5minutes to roll the boat lift and the dock out and we're in business. We do have to spray the soffits and deck stringers with Sentinal to keep all the flies and bugs away. Still too cold to wakeboard yet though. Gonna go torture Dorisey this weekend.

Especially #1 about the ferry. There's something so out west and exotic about taking a ferry to the cottage. I know a lot of us easterners have boat access cottages, but taking one of the massive BC Ferries over to your island... now that's a pretty neat way to get there indeed! Sharon Hi Julie
